Question:

The average age of 30 boys in a class is 15 years. If we include the age of two teachers the average age increases by 1. Find the sum of ages of the two teachers.

 

Options:

55 years

58 years

62 years

64 years

Correct Answer:

62 years

Explanation:

Total age of boys in a class = 30 x 15 = 450

If we include the age of 2 teachers then average becomes = 16, so we can say the total age including teachers in the class is 32 x 16 = 512

Thus, the sum of the ages of the two teachers = 512 - 450 = 62 years
